INSTANT BOOK

If you haven't had a chance to visit Hero Arts Blog (see right side bar )this is the week!The host Lisa mentioned Esther K. Smith's book HOW TO MAKE BOOKS and demonstrated an example of an instant book.The demo is so easy and clever I just had to have a go at it.The mini book is made with only one sheet of paper and I've prepared a few but so far I've managed to only finish this one which was made using one sheet of that crazy bulky textured paper Gabrielle and I made a month ago.( the size of the mini book = 3 in. x 4 in.) Supplies:all stamps: Hero Artsp.p: SEIsolid cardstock: ( solid indeed!)
